“Outside, the trees and hedgerows were displaying the colours of autumn in a rainbow of browns, greens, yellows, golds and reds. The smoke, dust and dirt of London had been left far behind. He loved this time of year in the English countryside, when the air had a freshness, a clarity far removed from the brown fogs and clamour”
